BGA2709 is a microwave integrated circuit produced by Philips Semiconductors. It has an internal matching to 50 ohms, a very wide frequency range (3.6GHz, 3dB bandwidth), a flat 23dB gain (DC to 2.6GHz, 1dB flatness), 12.5dBm saturated output power (1GHz), etc. Its applications include cable systems, LNB IF amplifiers, general purposes, ISM, etc.
The document describes the Philips BGA2709, a Silicon Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) designed as a wideband amplifier. It features internal matching to 50 Ohms and is housed in a 6-pin SOT363 SMD plastic package.
Key specifications include a very wide frequency range with a 3 dB bandwidth of 3.6 GHz, flat gain up to 2.6 GHz, and high linearity with an OIP3 of 22 dBm at 1 GHz. The device is unconditionally stable (K > 1.2) and operates from a DC supply voltage between 4.5 V and 5.5 V.
